On Saturday June 19, Leticia Ribeiro put on an incredible 3 1/2 hour seminar in gi techniques for the ladies of Texas... thanks to Triin Seppel, the Fenom Project, and Rob Ables, who runs the Marcelo Garcia affiliate in Dallas (Tiny Killer Robot Jiu Jitsu, isn't that awesome?) And these pictures are all by Jen Sulak, unless I say otherwise.

Leila, another blue belt at my academy, joined me for the 3 hour drive to Dallas which went quickly as we gabbed the whole way up. We arrived a little early, so we snacked in the parking lot before heading inside. Shama, our purple, was in town for the seminar already, and Christy, our academy co-owner, arrived just in time.

Could the Gracie's Move to TV?

Oprah is creating her own channel, about time you say, and she's or rather the channel is holding a view vote for best reality show idea. This idea comes from Rener Gracie and addresses an issue that has been growing lately in publicity, not in occurance - Bullying. Bullies have been around for ages - Mcfly - and will continue to be around and tournment, wedgies, dumpster plunge and push our heads into toilets. What will save us, yes Jiu-Jitsu, and it's true. Those of us who know, that martial arts, bjj and grappling are an excellent form of self defense when taught correctly and studied with good intent.

So how does Oprah and the Gracie's get together.. Bullyproof is an idea posted by Rener Gracie where they take kids in bully - type situations and "Bullyproof" them with, yes, Gracie training in Calofornia.

Sounds interesting, and could be just the thing... you there - with your underwear up over your head... need..
